I live in a small, isolated town, Astoria, OR. Fishing and logging are the two foundation industries here. The sidewalks roll up around 9PM, and those are the late joints. McD stays open later as do BK and Wendy's. Yippee!
But I just found that a local watering hole has a Tuesday night Pinball League, called The Astoria Pinball League at the Merry Time Pub. I had to check it out. These are the first attempt. They need improving. The light is tricky but I think I understand it better now: just one set of bright lights to a pic. See, I am smarter already. LOL The folks who play are a really nice crowd with manners and are serious about The Silver Ball.

Very nice. I love Astoria, used to run out there when we lived in Portland. They filmed "The Gonnies" there in the mid-1980's. Sweet town.

The Goonies 40th Anniversary was just celebrated here. The home is now in the hands of a Goonies fan and visitors are no longer discouraged from assembling on the street to view and photograph.
